Understand Semi-Pistol Cannonade
Useful when…
- Use on a pistol with a Semi-Auto Trigger when prioritizing listed Damage and Punch Through.
- Consider when you do not need to modify the pistol's Fire Rate.
Compatibility and effect
This Uncommon standard Pistol mod is compatible only with Semi-Auto Trigger pistols. It grants +50% Damage and +0.25 Punch Through at rank 0, +200% Damage and +1 Punch Through at rank 3, and +300% Damage and +1.5 Punch Through at rank 5. Fire Rate cannot be modified while using it. It has Vazarin polarity and base drain 4.
Ranks and capacity
The mod reaches rank 5. Listed fusion steps cost 20 Endo and 966 Credits from rank 0 to 1; 80 Endo and 3,864 Credits from rank 2 to 3; and 320 Endo and 15,456 Credits from rank 4 to 5. Ranking increases both bonuses, but its Fire Rate restriction remains. Decide whether to invest based on the pistol's trigger compatibility and whether the extra rank benefits justify the capacity and fusion cost.
Different pistol choices
Accelerated Isotope offers Radiation and Fire Rate; Anemic Agility trades Damage for Fire Rate; Creeping Bullseye adds Critical Chance while reducing Fire Rate. These have different stat profiles, and this mod's explicit semi-auto restriction matters when considering Fire Rate options. The available information does not establish that any one is universally preferable.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Only works with Semi-Auto Trigger pistols.
- Fire Rate cannot be modified while the mod is equipped.
- Rank investment increases the stated bonuses but costs more Endo and Credits at higher ranks.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Installing it on a pistol that does not have a Semi-Auto Trigger.
- Assuming Fire Rate can still be modified while this mod is equipped.
- Treating the listed Damage bonus as a final weapon damage number.
